Pink Moon in April

Are you ready to howl on April 26?

April’s full Moon rises for all the sweethearts and wannabe lovers to help them find satisfaction and abundance. In this period of time starting late April all the feelings bloom and come to fruition by May 26, the following full moon. If you want to find inspiration and fulfillment, if you are looking to love and be loved be sure to follow all the rituals and traditions to attract good luck. Buy some pink phlox, put on pink lipstick and do what your heart desires. May the Force be with you!

When to See the Full Moon in April 2021

Venture outside on the night of Monday, April 26, to catch a glimpse of April’s full Pink Moon. This full Moon—which is the first of two super moons this year—will be visible after sunset and reach peak illumination at 11:33 P.M. EDT.

For the best view of this lovely spring Moon, find an open area and watch as the Moon rises just above the horizon, at which point it will appear its biggest and take on a golden hue!

Pink Moon, First Super moon of the Year

If you are a super woman and know your super power, be sure to practice it in the time between late April to late May in 2021, this period is especially successful for those looking to start a new adventure, solve an old problem or finally make a change so much needed. Consider the birthstones and other lucky charms to make you feel stronger during this time. If you don’t know your crystals, try to find out beforehand. You can go and talk to the healer or just read up on the Internet. This is what I came across recently https://www.almanac.com/content/birthstones-and-their-meanings

This year, we’ll be treated to two super moons, with the first occurring on April 26 and the second on May 26. Super moons are said to be bigger and brighter than your average full Moon.

Just how big and how bright, exactly? On average, super moons are about 7% bigger and about 15% brighter than a typical full Moon. However, unless you were to see a regular full Moon and a super moon side by side in the sky, the difference is very, very difficult to notice!

Why Is It Called the Pink Moon?

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not only to the full Moon.

The Pink Moon

Although we wish this name had to do with the color of the Moon, the reality is not quite as mystical or awe-inspiring. In truth, April’s full Moon often corresponded with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America: Phlox subulata—commonly called creeping phlox or moss phlox—which also went by the name “moss pink.” 

My grandma’s favorite flower

Thanks to this seasonal association, this full Moon came to be called the “Pink” Moon! I wish you all happy pink moon, make your dreams come true and remember that nothing is impossible.
